We start off the show by discussing the latest news around the review of the ASCP and BMI consent decrees by the US Department of Justice. The DOJ is now said to be looking into whether Sony/ATV, UMPG and ASCAP “coordinated” their negotiations with Pandora and in the meantime Sony/ATV’s Chairman is threatening to pull out of ASCAP and BMI completely, but is that actually feasible for the publisher?

We also discuss the “Fair Digital Deals Declaration” by the Worldwide Independent Network, Rhapsody’s unRadio product, SoundCloud’s rumoured equity deal with the majors and PONO gets a new CEO and new back-end service provider.

During the show I also chat with the CTO of Soundwave Aidan Sliney and he demonstrates the brand new version of the app which includes a messaging service.

Finally don’t forget to go check out the Music Tech Fest website for news on the event (musictechfest.org) and the My Media Insider website for Eric’s latest news (mymediainsider.com).

I really hope you enjoy the show, have a great week and ‘till next time!

This week on the 1-2-1 show I chat with Brendan O’Driscoll, founder and CEO of the company Soundwave, which released its app for iOS and Android last week with support from the likes of Steve Wozniak and Stephen Fry. Soundwave is a music discovery app that creates a feed of all the songs that you and your friends are listening to by tapping into your device’s iTunes Music app as well as Spotify, Rdio and the Android music player of course. This means that you can keep doing what you normally do while sharing the music you love at the same time. We chat about the app’s features and what sets it apart from the pack, the journey from concept to release and much more. I look forward to seeing how Soundwave will develop in the coming weeks and it’s definitely off to a flying start with a featured spot on the App Store in the UK. Check out http://www.soundwave.com for more info or search for the app on the iTunes App Store or Google Play Store.
